lMPROVEMENT IN PUMP-TUBING.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 212,l73, dated February 11, 1879 application filed May l5, 1878.

To all whom fit may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN H. BARRINGER, of Lincoln, in the county of Lancaster and State of Nebraska, have made certain Improvements in Pumps; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description oi' the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification, and in which- Figure l is a side elevation of my improved pump-tubin g. Fig. 2 is avertical section, and Fig. 3 is a detached view of a modication of a part thereof.

Corresponding parts in the several figures are denoted by like letters.

My invention relates to pumps 5 and its object is to make a well or hole in the earth without digging or removing any dirt therefrom, and putting ina pump at one and the same operation, and 'also to permit of its easy and ready removal from the\ earth without breaking or losing any of its parts; and it consists ot' a pump stock or barrel composed of sections of iron tubing, provided with an ordinary deep-V The operation is as follows: The screw D is forced into the ground by any suitable means, carrying with it the perforated section of pipe, the deep-well cylinder, and as many more seetions of pipe connected together as are required to reach water. The bowl or head having the handle which operates the piston-rod is then attached, when the pump is in complete working order. As the screw D is of greater diameter than the tubing connecting therewith, it will be seen that the tubing above the screw will, to a great extent, be relieved from friction between the tubing and the earth.

My device can be as readily removed from as it can be inserted in the earth, thus overcoming the main objection of the driven-well system, in which about one-fourth of the pump is lost when the same is taken from the ground.

The shape of the screw D may be varied largely without departing from the spirit of my invention.

One advantage in placing the screw as described is, that while the point may be in gravel or quicksand the screw is lodged in the solid earth, thereby steadying the pipe.

Having thus described my invention, what claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-f The section G, having the screw D above the perforated wire-covered portion of said section, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony tha-t I claim the foregoing as my own I hereunto affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

JOHN H. BARRINGER.
